Jennifer Lawson, known as Jenny Lawson, is an American journalist, author, and blogger, celebrated for her sardonic wit and hysterically skewed outlook on life. Born on December 29, 1973, she has made millions question their own sanity with her humorous musings. Her blog, The Bloggess, is an award-winning platform that blends dark humor with brutally honest discussions of mental illness.

Lawson's literary career took off with her first book, Let’s Pretend This Never Happened: A Mostly True Memoir, which debuted at #1 on the NYT best-seller list in 2012. Following this success, her subsequent books, Furiously Happy: A Funny Book About Horrible Things, YOU ARE HERE: An Owner’s Manual for Dangerous Minds, and Broken (in the best possible way), also became NYT best-sellers.

Aside from writing, Jenny is the proprietress of Nowhere Bookshop in San Antonio and actively engages with her audience through social media platforms like Twitter, Facebook, and Instagram. She is available for speaking engagements, focusing on topics such as mental illness, leadership, writing, and invisible disabilities.
